Mick close to extending the loan of the right-back until the end of the season

Town are set to extend the loan of Bradley Orr until the end of the season.

The right-back joined Blues from Championship rivals Blackburn in November and has established himself as a regular in Mick McCarthy’s defence, alongside Luke Chambers, Tommy Smith and Aaron Cresswell.

Bradley’s original loan deal was set to come to an end after Town’s trip to his former club Bristol City at the end of this month.

“We’ve spoken to Blackburn and they’ve said we can keep Bradley until the end of the season,” Mick told the Club website.

“He’s brought us some experience and I think he’s got better and better with each game.”
